| Iran defies UK by displaying three seized boats |
| 2005-03-14 |
 Iran yesterday put on display three British naval boats it captured last year, shrugging off protests by London, which has demanded their return, the official Irna news agency reported. The boats, seized along with their crews by Iranian Revolutionary Guards last June in the Shatt Al Arab waterway which divides southwestern Iran from Iraq, were included in an exhibition of memorabilia from 1980-1988 war with Iraq. |

| #5 I'm sure the Iranians will respond to this display of "soft power". If it's soft, it has no real "power". |

| #4 The MMs are having a good time right now, rubbing the Brits' noses in the dirt. Ball is in the Brits' court. Will they be EUweenies, or will they find and dust off their stones after their EU-3 fling with the MMs? |

| #3 Just have the EU or the UN issue a strongly worded statement of displeasure. I'm sure the Iranians will respond to this display of "soft power". /sarcasm off |

| #2 Maybe they want to think about this when they are spreading thier cheeks for the MMs too? But they will not, that takes too much common sense. |

| #1 Maybe the Brits should start seizing tanker cargos coming out of Iranian oil loading facilities. |
